Grant Description

Projects Bill Grants are state-wide investments authorized by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to address regional water supply needs that do not align with other CWCB grant programs. These grants require approval from the Colorado General Assembly and typically necessitate matching funds. Funding amounts vary annually, generally ranging from $1 million to $10 million. Eligible projects include those with statewide impact or importance, such as river restoration, compliance with federal water rights issues, and recovery of endangered species within riparian ecosystems. The application deadline for the Construction Fund Grant is August 1 annually.
